23 8. INSTALLATION OF STARWHEELS & BALE RATE SENSOR Model 551, 550 & 545 (Two- Tie only) The pair of star wheels will need to mount on the bottom side as close to the front of the bale chute as possible and at least 3/8" away from any metal. They will need to maintain a safe distance away from the twine. The star wheels will require two holes to be drilled per block, when drilling make sure to keep the wheel square to the bale chamber. Any angle will cause stress on the wheel and will eventually cause the wheel to work itself out of the block. Some balers may require a notch cut on the bottom of the bale chamber to mount the star wheels as close to the front of the chamber as possible. Use the template in back of manual to aid in installation. Use the supplied bolts and place the carriage head inside of the bale chamber followed by lock and nut. Next attach the star wheels to the bolts followed by flat washer, lock washer and nut. The right side star wheel will have the bale rate sensor bolted to the bottom of the block. First, remove the cover from the star wheel block and use a ¼ nut driver to remove the nut from the electronic swivel. Next, run the star wheel sensor wire through the black grommet and place the eye terminal on the star wheel sensor. Tighten the eye loop with the nut on the sensor and put the star wheel cover back on the base. Next, tighten the grommet to form a tight seal around the wire. The sensor with the longer sensor wire should say FRONT, which indicates it should be placed in the front sensor hole. The sensor wire with the shorter wire should say BACK. The tip of the sensor should be placed no more than ¼ away from the star wheel teeth and no less than 1/8 from the star wheel teeth. Each sensor will have an LED light located on the sensor by the sensor holder. Once the unit is powered up spin the wheel and make sure that both led lights turn on and off. If they don t turn on and off, adjustments may need to be made. Once the star wheel connection is complete, run the harness along the baler frame to the Precision Information Processor (PIP). (See wiring installation on the following page.) Model 551 Model 550 &

24 Model 550 (Three-Tie only) The pair of star wheels will need to mount on the top as close to the knotters as possible and at least 3/8" away from any metal. They will need to maintain a safe distance away from the twine. The star wheels will require two holes to be drilled per block, when drilling make sure to keep the wheel square to the bale chamber. Any angle will cause stress on the wheel and will eventually cause the wheel to work itself out of the block. A template can be found in the back of the manual to help with the placement of the star wheel. Use the supplied 5/16 allen head carriage bolts and place the carriage head inside of the bale chamber followed by lock and nut. Next attach the star wheels to the bolts followed by the twine diverters and Finally secure the entire block using nuts, locks, and flat washers. The twine diverter with the bale rate sensors needs to be mounted on the right side of the baler. Remove the four screws holding the plastic cover and attach one wire eye loop per star wheel through the grommet and tighten down with the nut attached to the swivel. Reinstall the cover and run the wires up to the pump plate. You will need to use zip ties to attach the wires so as to not interfere with normal baler use.

Once the screen is displayed, press the PUMP OUTPUTS key. The machine will cycle all three of the pumps for 15 seconds. After the cycles are complete, the system will display a number next to each pump number. 2. If the system displays within the listed range. A. The system is operating correctly. If the system displays higher than the listed range, some common problems could be: A. Leak in line. Inspect lines thoroughly. B. Tip missing. Check for lost or broken tip on spray shield. C. Tip worn. Replace tip. D. High tractor voltage. If the system displays lower than the listed range, some common problems could be: A. Make sure there is preservative in the tank and ball valve is in the open position. B. Air in lines. Pump will not prime. Check for leak in lines, or defective check valve. C. Pump is working, but not producing desired output. Pump needs to be rebuilt. D. Main filter plugged. Check filter by tank and clean if necessary. E. Tip or tip screen plugged. Check both tip and tip screen and clean if necessary. F. Kink in hose. Straighten or replace hose. G. Voltage from tractor is low. Check power cord with multimeter for 12 volts at baler mounted processor. Clean connections on battery. Dielectric grease connections at baler mounted processor and at hitch connection. H. Pump is defective. Rebuild pump if motor runs smoothly. Replace pump if motor is bad. I. Defective flow meter. Only if all pumps run, product is applied, and all numbers read To set date and time, press the SET DATE/TIME key. In the next screen enter the date (month, day, year format) followed by the time. When done press the ENTER key. NOTE: The clock uses military (or 24 hour) time. 4. The voltage should be between 12.0 to 14.5 volts for the system to work properly. If voltage is not in this range check all power cord connections and the tractors charging system. 5. Press the Recalibrate Touchpad key to realign the screen keys to your preference. When the screen appears follow the directions and press accept when done. 6. Press the Versions key to check all software versions of modules attached to the PIP. 7.

37 COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE How do I turn the system on/off? Turn the key in the tractor to the on position. If the unit is in Standby Mode, press anywhere on the screen. To turn off, press the Standby key, wait for the screen to power down and turn off the key. 2. How to get in the LBS/TON, MC%, and TONS/HR menus? In the Main Menu press the SETUP MODE key. From this screen you can change your application rates and how much product is applied. See SETTING UP FOR INITIAL USE for a detailed explanation of this process. 3. The unit is stuck in the MC% screen. In the MC% screen, level 1 must be less than level 2, and level 2 must be less than level 3. For example, if level 1 is set at 16, level 2 must be set at 17 or higher, and level 3 must be set higher than level How does OVERRIDE work? Override turns on all three pumps at full output. The pumps will remain at full output until the operator turns these pumps off by pressing the OVERRIDE key again. 5. The flow meter reading is more or less than the programmed level set in the box. Some variation in flow meter readings compared to the programmed set point is normal due to factory tolerances on the pump motors as well as varying tractor voltages inputted to the control box. The flow meter reading is an accurate measure of how much product is actually being applied. The set points then will need to be adjusted if you want to attain a different flow meter reading. 6. Why don t all the pumps turn on even at higher application rates? The selections of what pumps turn on when are automatically controlled by the control box s flow rate look up chart. Thus, not all the pumps turn on at once and the combination of what pumps turn on when is automatically controlled by the software. If you want to make sure all three pumps are working, go to the Diagnostics screen and run pump outputs. 7. The moisture content displays LO or HI all the time. When the moisture content display does not change frequently while baling, there is likely a faulty star wheel connection. One of the first places to check is inside the white star wheel block. Check to see if the electronic swivel is in the star wheel shaft and check to see that the star wheel shaft is not working out of the block. Also, check all star wheel wires and connectors to see if there is a continuity or grounding problem. 8. Should the battery connections be removed before jump starting or charging a battery? Yes. Anytime the tractor will have voltage going up rapidly the connections should be removed. 9. How do I recalibrate the touch screen display? In the system diagnostics screen press the Recalibrate Touch screen key and follow the directions on the screen. Press accept when done. 10. How can I turn the optional Hay Indicators on/off from the cab? In the Setup Mode screen press options. Press the on/off underlined area next to EOR sensor. 37

38 MAINTENANCE 1. Clean the tip strainers and main strainer every 10 hours of operation or more frequently if required. 2. Depending on the product being used, the system may need to be flushed with water at a regular interval (consult with manufacturer of the chemical.) If Harvest Tec product is being used, flushing is not necessary. 3. Although the pump can run dry, extended operation of a dry pump will increase wear. Watch the preservative level in the tank. 4. Cover the automatic cab terminal on open station tractors if left outside. 5. Pump performance may start to decline after 400 hours (1500 acres on conventional balers) of use. Rebuilding pumps is a simple procedure if the motor is not damaged. Order pump rebuilding kit # for the automatic unit. 6. If you are using bacterial inoculants, flush your system daily after every use. 7. Clean tank cap every 10 hours of operation. Maintenance Schedule Daily 10 hrs 400 hrs Weekly Monthly Season Diagnostics X X Filter bowl cleaning X X Tip screen cleaning X X Tank cap cleaning X X Dielectric grease connections X X Rebuild pump X Battery connections X X Check valves X Visually inspect hoses X X WINTER STORAGE 1. Thoroughly flush the system with water. 2. Remove the filter bowl and run dry until the water has cleared out of the intake side. 3. Remove the red plug from the bottom of the pump, drain, and run the pump for 30 seconds or until it is dry. 4. Drain all lines on the outlet side. 5. Never use oils or alcohol based anti-freeze in the system. 6. During spring start-up, if the pump is frozen turn off the power immediately to avoid burning the motor out. The pump head can be disassembled and freed or rebuilt in most cases. 7. Disconnect power from system. 8. Remove display from tractor and store in a warm dry place.
